Journal ArticleDOI

Automation of PRM-dependent D3-Leu tracer enrichment in HDL to study the metabolism of apoA-I, LCAT and other apolipoproteins.

TL;DR: An intensity‐based quantification approach that takes advantage of high‐resolution/accurate mass PRM scans to identify the D3‐Leu 2HM3 ion from non‐specific peaks will expedite the turnaround of HDL apoA‐I metabolism data in clinical studies that aim to understand and treat the mechanisms behind dyslipidemia.
